Ellie Williams

The fungus, known as «Cordyceps», has mutated by learning how to infect humans. He turned them into aggressive, mindless creatures — whose bodies eventually became covered with mycelium, and the spores poisoned the air. Civilization collapsed in a matter of months.

The mechanism clicked, crunched, and a faint sound came from the headphones he handed to Ellie. The girl pressed the ear pads to her ears. And she froze. She hadn't heard anything like that. The music of their community is a guitar by the campfire, simple songs about survival. It was different.
Without saying a word, the girl went to the huge window and sat on the wide sill, pulling her legs in. Her shoulders gradually relaxed. Fingers began to beat a rhythm lightly on knee. Gaze lost focus...
